Transaxle Reassembly

NOTE: Coat all oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating parts and sliding surfaces with ATF prior to reassembly. All gaskets and rubber "O" rings should be replaced. Ensure ends of snap rings are not aligned with cut-outs of drum. Check thrust bearings and races for wear or damage. Use petroleum jelly to secure parts in place. Clutch discs should be soaked in ATF for at least 15 minutes before installation.
NOTE: For component identification, see NEEDLE BEARING, SNAP RING, THRUST WASHER & SHIM IDENTIFICATION  table. For component locations, refer to illustration. See Fig 14 .
  1. Install revolution sensor into transaxle case. Install differential side oil seals in converter housing. Ensure seals are installed with proper recess or protrusion as specified. Dimension "A" should be recessed .217-.256" (5.50-6.50 mm) from case surface. Dimension "B" may be recessed or protruded .020" (.5 mm) from case surface. See Fig 1 .

Ensure bearing retainer seal rings are not spread. Align teeth of low-reverse brake drive plates. Install forward clutch assembly. Install thrust needle bearing race on bearing retainer. See Fig 3 . Install bearing on rear internal gear with smooth side down. See Fig 4 .
  4. Hold forward clutch hub and turn overrun clutch hub. Ensure overrun clutch hub rotates counterclockwise and does not rotate clockwise. If overrun clutch hub does not operate as described, check installed direction of forward one-way clutch. See REAR INTERNAL GEAR, FORWARD CLUTCH HUB & OVERRUN CLUTCH HUB  in COMPONENT DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY. Align forward clutch and overrun clutch drive plate teeth and install rear internal gear assembly. See Figure .
  5. Apply petroleum jelly to needle bearing and install needle bearing with smooth side down on rear planetary carrier. See Fig 5 . Install rear sun gear on rear planetary carrier with grooved side facing out. Install rear planetary carrier in transaxle case. Apply petroleum jelly to thrust needle bearing and install bearing on front planetary carrier with grooved side down. See Fig 6 .
    6. NOTE: Snap ring will not fit in groove of transaxle case if forward clutch and bearings are not installed correctly.

  6. Install low one-way clutch to front planetary carrier by rotating clutch counterclockwise. Ensure low one-way clutch does not rotate in clockwise direction. See Figure . Install front planetary carrier assembly in transaxle case. Install snap ring.
  7. Install thrust needle bearing on front sun gear with flat side down. See Fig 7 . Install front sun gear on front planetary carrier. Install needle bearing on front sun gear with smooth side down. See Fig 8 . Install high clutch hub on front sun gear. Install needle bearing on high clutch hub with smooth side up. See Fig 9 .
  8. Remove paper from input shaft. Align teeth of high clutch drive plates and install input shaft assembly. Align teeth of reverse clutch drive plates. Apply petroleum jelly to needle bearing and install needle bearing on high clutch assembly with smooth side down. See Fig 10 .
  9. Install reverse clutch assembly. Install anchor end pin, washer and lock nut on transaxle case. Place brake band on reverse clutch drum. Tighten anchor end pin enough that brake band is on reverse drum evenly.
  10. Apply petroleum jelly on bearing race selected in TOTAL END PLAY  adjustment procedure under TRANSAXLE ADJUSTMENTS. Install bearing race on oil pump cover. Apply petroleum jelly on thrust washer selected in REVERSE CLUTCH END PLAY  adjustment procedure under TRANSAXLE ADJUSTMENTS. Install thrust washer on reverse clutch drum. Install oil pump assembly on transaxle case.
  11. Tighten oil pump bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Apply ATF to input shaft "O" ring and install "O" ring on input shaft. Adjust brake band. Tighten anchor end pin to 35-53 INCH lbs. (4-6 N.m). Back off anchor end pin 2 1/2 turns. While holding anchor end pin, tighten lock nut. Apply compressed air to oil holes in transaxle case to ensure correct brake band operation. See Fig 11 .
